Sloan Proprietary Red 2015 (750ML)

100 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Proprietary Red is a little closed and broody at this youthful stage, the nose beginning to open and grow into a beautiful redcurrant jelly, cassis, kirsch and black raspberry core with nuances of red roses, mocha, unsmoked cigars, camphor and tilled soil. Full-bodied and fabulously decadent in the mouth, the palate reveals a very firm, very plush frame with loads of perfumed layers and an epically long, fragrant finish." 12/18

97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2015 Sloan is a powerful, dramatic wine endowed with tremendous textural depth. A rush of blackberry jam, grilled herbs, leather and licorice builds as this flamboyant wine shows off its alluring personality. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2015 possesses a good deal of freshness and structure. It is a tremendous wine by any measure."' 12/18

96 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "A beautifully crafted red with currant, chocolate, cedar and tea aromas and flavors that follow through to a medium to full body, round and refined tannins and a persistent and beautiful finish. Give this until 2021 to come around." 12/19
